mm/memory_hotplug: enforce block size aligned range check
Patch series "optimize memory hotplug", v3. This patchset: - Improves hotplug performance by eliminating a number of struct page traverses during memory hotplug. - Fixes some issues with hotplugging, where boundaries were not properly checked. And on x86 block size was not properly aligned with end of memory - Also, potentially improves boot performance by eliminating condition from __init_single_page(). - Adds robustness by verifying that that struct pages are correctly poisoned when flags are accessed. The following experiments were performed on Xeon(R) CPU E7-8895 v3 @ 2.60GHz with 1T RAM: booting in qemu with 960G of memory, time to initialize struct pages: no-kvm: TRY1 TRY2 BEFORE: 39.433668 39.39705 AFTER: 36.903781 36.989329 with-kvm: BEFORE: 10.977447 11.103164 AFTER: 10.929072 10.751885 Hotplug 896G memory: no-kvm: TRY1 TRY2 BEFORE: 848.740000 846.910000 AFTER: 783.070000 786.560000 with-kvm: TRY1 TRY2 BEFORE: 34.410000 33.57 AFTER: 29.810000 29.580000 This patch (of 6): Start qemu with the following arguments: -m 64G,slots=2,maxmem=66G -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=2G Which: boots machine with 64G, and adds a device mem1 with 2G which can be hotplugged later. Also make sure that config has the following turned on: CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY Using the qemu monitor hotplug the memory (make sure config has (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1 The operation will fail with the following trace: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 91 at drivers/base/memory.c:205 pages_correctly_reserved+0xe6/0x110 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 91 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 4.16.0-rc1_pt_master #29 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.11.0-0-g63451fca13-prebuilt.qemu-project.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:pages_correctly_reserved+0xe6/0x110 Call Trace: memory_subsys_online+0x44/0xa0 device_online+0x51/0x80 store_mem_state+0x5e/0xe0 kernfs_fop_write+0xfa/0x170 __vfs_write+0x2e/0x150 vfs_write+0xa8/0x1a0 SyS_write+0x4d/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x5d/0x110 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x21/0x86 ---[ end trace 6203bc4f1a5d30e8 ]--- The problem is detected in: drivers/base/memory.c static bool pages_correctly_reserved(unsigned long start_pfn) 205 if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!pfn_valid(pfn))) This function loops through every section in the newly added memory block and verifies that the first pfn is valid, meaning section exists, has mapping (struct page array), and is online. The block size on x86 is usually 128M, but when machine is booted with more than 64G of memory, the block size is changed to 2G: $ cat /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes 80000000 or $ dmesg | grep "block size" [ 0.086469] x86/mm: Memory block size: 2048MB During memory hotplug, and hotremove we verify that the range is section size aligned, but we actually must verify that it is block size aligned, because that is the proper unit for hotplug operations. See: Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt So, when the start_pfn of newly added memory is not block size aligned, we can get a memory block that has only part of it with properly populated sections. In our case the start_pfn starts from the last_pfn (end of physical memory). $ dmesg | grep last_pfn [ 0.000000] e820: last_pfn = 0x1040000 max_arch_pfn = 0x400000000 0x1040000 == 65G, and so is not 2G aligned! The fix is to enforce that memory that is hotplugged and hotremoved is block size aligned. With this fix, running the above sequence yield to the following result: (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1 Block size [0x80000000] unaligned hotplug range: start 0x1040000000, size 0x80000000 acpi PNP0C80:00: add_memory failed acpi PNP0C80:00: acpi_memory_enable_device() error acpi PNP0C80:00: Enumeration failure Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180213193159.14606-2-pasha.tatashin@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Bharata B Rao <bharata@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Daniel Jordan <daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: "H.
